6. Our Local Labour Market
Key Sectors in the Humber
Business & Retail
Chemicals
Construction
Creative & Digital
Energy
Engineering
Food & Agriculture
Health & Social Care
Manufacturing
Ports & Logistics
Public Sector
Visitor Economy
In the Humber there are 12 highlighted growth sectors.
These are sectors are key to our local economy, these sectors adapt and change depending on what is happening in the local labour market for example:
The Energy Sector didn’t exist 10 years ago, this is a new sector because of the increase of Renewable Energy and as a result business and jobs have developed in this are
The Visitor Economy was previously referred to as the Leisure & Tourism sector however we live very different to how people did 30 years ago and there is now a demand for services such as catering (meals out, take aways etc), fitness, health spas, gaming and theatres/Cinemas. People are also travelling more for these things as well as taking more holidays.
The Creative & Digital Sector is one that has changed the most over the past 10 years with the introduction of New Technology and this is constantly changing. New Technology is the main reason for old jobs disappearing and due to this development there will be more jobs needing higher level skills. Just think about self service check outs at supermarkets and internet shopping.

7. Changes in the Labour Market
What changes do you think are happening in the labour market?
Ask the students “What changes do you think are happening in the local labour market?”

8. Changes in the Labour Market
New Technology is being developed all the time
Economy – Recession -Brexit
Investment in the Local area e.g. Siemens
People are living longer
Skills of people around the world are improving
“Green” issues; we must take more care of the environment (Energy Sector)
What does this mean for you?
Out In
Unskilled Small Companies
Manual Self Employment
Mass-production Short Term Contracts
Auto-Engineering High Technology
Mining Employability Skills Qualifications

9. How has this impacted on our Key Sectors?
Ask the students if they think these changes in the local labour market have impacted what is happening in our key sectors in terms of has one sector grown and others declined?

10. Trends
Trends in employment vary from Sector to Sector and can be affected by a number of factors. Since 2016 there have been significant changes in number of employees in occupational areas, some of this is due to the “brexit” impact with migrants employed in these sectors returning to their country of origin decreasing the numbers employed in those sectors.  This does not mean that those sectors are declining in terms of employment opportunities,  in the case of construction and Health & Social care there are big skills gaps and a large number of vacancies unfilled.
Talk about how the impact of the recession and government savings has meant redundancies and reduced workforce in this sector and we class this as a declining sector but that doesn’t mean there are no employment opportunities as opportunities will be available with the natural turnover of staff and an aging workforce.
The energy sector is growing in this area because of the development of the wind farms in region and the jobs related to these. For example the new wind farm being built by Orsted off the coast at Hornsea will create 800 jobs in the construction phase.

Lets look at one of the sectors in more detail now.
Manufacturing is the production of goods from the beginnings as raw materials to after sales services. Manufacturing today is usually high-tech production on a large scale. Most manufacturing processes are automated to ensure products meet quality standards and can be produced in large volumes to meet demand. Advanced manufacturing involves the use of technology to improve products and processes.
Currently 40% of manufacturers say 40% of their workforce is above the age of 50, and while they are keen to keep hold of these workers – who often possess specialist skills – there is a growing need to attract the next generation.
76% of manufacturers currently have at least one EU national working in their business, and on average EU nationals make up 11% of a manufacturer’s workforce. Any reduction in the availability of EU nationals will only make the skills shortage worse.
The manufacturing sector has adopted new technologies and provided new jobs for workers. The industry is now experiencing exciting and exponential change, as technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and Internet of Things (IoT) are rapidly changing the workplace. While some predicted that these new technologies would eliminate jobs, the reverse has happened—more jobs are being created.
Manufacturing supports young people; 66% of manufacturers plan to recruit an engineering apprentice in the next 12 months.
Manufacturing is creating high-skilled jobs; the sector needs 750,000 science, technology and engineering professionals to replace those leaving the industry by 2020.
The Manufacturing Sector accounts for 22% of the region's workforce, employing over 80,000 people
Yorkshire & the Humber is the country’s largest food producing region
Manufacturing of Chemicals and pharmaceuticals is prominent in the Humber
25% people employed in the sector are women nationally and this is increasing year on year
Nationally around 10% of the workforce is aged 16-24
Manufacturing workers often work shifts 24 hrs a day 365 days a year
Manufacturing pays higher wages than the national average; the average weekly pay in the manufacturing sector is approx.17% higher than the whole economy average.
CAN-PACK UK has produced its 10 billionth can, enough cans to stretch to the moon and back. The pant produces 6 million cans a day.

Problem Solving
Business & Customer Awareness

A lot of newer and really exciting engineering jobs that offer a good salary package need a science, technology and maths base.
